El Niguel began as a clearly-defined concept six decades ago — create a world-class course based on a classic design...and maintain the absolute highest standards of the game. Touring professionals, serious amateur players and general enthusiasts have all been drawn here for its reputation as a “hidden gem” course that can be played over and over again, all while enjoying a breathtaking coastal California landscape that is just as inspiring as the quality of play.
timeless golf.
First-time visitors often mention how incredibly friendly, easygoing, warm and welcoming the El Niguel community is—from long-time members to long-tenured staff. We are Orange County natives, long-time SoCal residents, and transplants new to the area — drawn together by a shared love of golf and the lifestyle around the game, enjoyed in a casually refined and utterly breathtaking coastal setting, and celebrated with sincerity and enthusiasm.
Our celebrated Exhibition Kitchen has brought the culinary experience at El Niguel “out in the open,” helping build a reputation for culinary experiences that surpass traditional country club fare...and rival a number of Laguna Niguel dining establishments. Led by an exceptional Executive Chef and his talented team, El Niguel’s culinary program makes every meal a delight, with menus that feature fresh, local ingredients and seasonal offerings packed with flavor and prepared with finesse.
Our overflowing calendar of events and activities offers something for everyone, from themed parties, wine dinners, family nights, holiday celebrations, and more. A sense of fun is the key to any number of lively social activities and culinary experiences—all of this as you enjoy connection to an exceptional group of fellow achievers and adventurers, from the very youngest to the exquisitely experienced, and everyone in between.
We’re not content to rely on just our reputation, however. A comprehensive tee-to-green renovation by renowned golf architect Todd Eckenrode has infused a contemporary energy into all 7,208 yards, enhancing playability while preserving the existing character and natural features of the course. This, in short, is a layout meant to be played, and enjoyed, and celebrated.
